Very true. My thoughts exactly. It could manifest in some paradoxical way later on in his life. The adrenalin rush can only suppress negative images up to a point, then a mature mind is required.

Was wondering what the catch was. Social media

What about the POPI act? How can this be allowed to post Scenes on Social Media?

Maybe they should receive training? They certainly seem like they have the will and interest for driving their passion to help people.

First responders can and do have their value, provided they are adequately trained via a set standard like here in the Cape, work with and via EMS channels feeding the correct info to control rooms for required resources etc. There are a lot of concerns in this particular situation with 9 different groups, fighting over patients and filming of patients and and and. First Aid should be taught at school to every child, my daughter was 13 when she saved her hockey coach, she witnessed him collapse and ran over pushed everyone out of the way and started cpr and brought him back before ems arrived. So the age issue is not an issue. EMS is not for everyone, its a calling

You can no longer do refreshers, it has changed, have to do the course over. Then a BAA can declare a pt dead, they just cant fill out the declaration. Think about it, the head is here and the body is there...pt is dead clearly, as a BAA you can choose to inititate a resus or not based on whether there are any signs of life, but if arriving on scene and cpr has been initiated they have to continue according to the protocol.

If you watch it again and listen to what Stan said, someone being there to stop the bleed or to initiate cpr could very much save a life. The basics saves lives every day. However responders providing invasive therapy is questionable, if they were running around claiming to be medics they could be charged criminally under the health act, but nowhere did I hear any of them make that claim though. First aiders require consent, whether expressed or implied, patient has right to refuse treatment. The flipside of the coin is that if the first aider is trained and proficient in the skill of putting up iv's and has the patients permission to do so, there is nothing one can do as they have the patients permission
